Unsolicited Advice for Attorney-General Eric Holder

Want to be Attorney General?  Heard they're hiring.

Eric Holder's just announced that he's retiring.

Says he'll stay until someone's confirmed to take his place...

I think he should wait to pack his office - just in case.

I would guess it's 50/50 Congress will agree

To whatever sucker is Obama's nominee.

Some poor slob Republicans will always castigate

In pursuance of their next, pretend "Whatever-Gate."

Someone with the patience and composure of a saint

(Hearings before Congress are like watching drying paint.)

Why someone would put themselves through that I'll never get

But, if I were Holder, I would not start packing yet.

The 113th Congress - Mr. Paul Goes To Washington

Rand Paul went to Washington and held the Senate floor...

Spoke for almost 13 hours...  Bet his throat is sore.

'though I mostly think that Paul is wrong; this time he's right,

And I'd like to thank the man for taking up the fight.

The GOP and Chuck Hagel; Where's the Love?

Republicans filibuster Hagel's confirmation as Secretary of Defense

No love for Chuck Hagel in the Senate yesterday;

All of the Republicans decided to delay

Confirmation for their fellow party member 'cause

They oppose the President, no matter what he does.

Tried to send an olive branch; he tapped the GOP,

Asking a Republican to be his nominee.

Hagel, who is only controversial for good sense,

Should have had an easy confirmation for Defense...

But, instead, it's been a struggle from the very start.

2 sides didn't come together; they're farther apart.

They've gone into recess so, for now, Panetta's stuck.

Hope he didn't have vacation plans - He's out of luck.
